Eugene Hosts First Ever Navy Week in Celebration of 250th Anniversary

The U.S. Navy has announced that Navy Week will take place in Eugene, Oregon, from Oct. 25 to Nov. 1, 2025. As part of a nationwide outreach effort, Eugene Navy Week will bring 50-75 Sailors to engage directly with the community through a week-long series of performances, educational events and service projects.

This year’s Navy Weeks hold special significance as they coincide with the U.S. Navy’s 250th birthday, a historic milestone celebrating a quarter-millennium of maritime excellence, national security and global leadership.

“We’re excited to bring your Navy to Eugene for the very first time,” said Cmdr. Julie Holland, Navy Office of Community Outreach director. “While our technology is unmatched, it’s our Sailors, the people you’ll meet throughout Navy Week, whose character, skill, and dedication make America’s Navy the most capable in the world. Eugene residents will see firsthand the pride and professionalism that continue a tradition of decisive power from seabed to space.”

Although Oregon has welcomed Navy Weeks in other cities before, this marks Eugene’s debut as a host. The 2025 event will showcase an extraordinary lineup of performances, demonstrations, and community engagements designed to inspire, educate, and strengthen the bond between the Navy and the people of Eugene.
